The exterior of a log home is its first statement and its most important protection. We treat it as both.
Chase Construction's exterior work covers the full range of log finish and siding services — log siding installation, chinking and sealant, staining and preservative treatments, and specialty finish applications. This is detail work, and we approach it with the same discipline we bring to structural construction.
Before anyone steps inside, they see the exterior. In a log home, the siding, the chinking, the stain — these are not cosmetic afterthoughts. They are the material expression of the whole structure.
We don't use discount materials on luxury homes. Every product we apply to a log exterior is selected for performance in a mountain climate — UV resistance, flexibility through thermal cycles, adhesion to aged and new wood alike.
For restoration clients, we match existing stain profiles so that repaired areas integrate seamlessly with the original finish. For new construction, we work with the design intent — whether that's a natural weathered look, a dark contemporary stain, or something that honors a historic precedent.
Finish work is only as good as the preparation behind it. We clean, prepare, and condition log surfaces before any product is applied. The result holds longer, looks better, and protects more effectively.
A log home is a significant investment — in time, resources, and intention. The finish work is what determines how that investment performs over the next decade. Done correctly, it extends the life of the structure and maintains the appearance it was built to have.
We provide custom log finishes and siding services for new construction, restoration, and maintenance clients across the Sun Valley area. If your log home's exterior needs attention — or you're specifying finish work for a new build — talk to us.
In Sun Valley's climate — high UV, significant snowload, freeze-thaw cycles — most log homes benefit from a stain and sealant inspection every 3–5 years and a full re-treatment every 5–8 years, depending on original product quality and sun exposure. We'll give you an honest read when we assess your property.
Yes. Finish matching for additions and repairs is part of our restoration work. We sample, test, and adjust until the new section is indistinguishable from the original — or as close as the material allows.
New construction or existing cabin — we assess the property and tell you exactly what it needs before any work is scoped.
